Harsh 2-3 shift?

[77 cruiser]

A guy on another site has a Bowtie 200-4r & say the 1-2 are good 3-4 is good but 2-3 very harsh. I don't know if it can be sent back or not.
It's a stage 1, don't know what they do to them other than what other than the reading on there site.
He did say the plate is drilled & a plug installed for direct. If they are talking the checkball if it was removed & not plugged could that be it?

Hard to say without know exactly what they did. Bowtie 200 probably won't last that long anyways.

I don't thing he has a bunch of power just a cruiser. He's in NY state trying to get over to see David if he not too far.

Dave will get it squared away.

When he was first looking for a 200 I told him about David, buuutt he went with BTO.

Bto was probably cheaper

In my experience cheaper costs alot more in the long run.

Sure looks good first time though.
BTW he talked with David today, not sure what he's going to do though.

Just a stupid question but is lockup engaging in second then shifting 2-3 locked up?
If not I would be looking to see if it is tying up or "binding"? if so speed up the band coming off. See if you get any change? easy enough to try.

I asked him that & he said no on the LU. He went through Bowtie & they directed him to some TV adjustments. He did & said it's better, sounds like it's good enough. They told him about a drill & plug they are doing to the plate or VB but wouldn't get specific, top secret stuff.
I just told GOOD luck.

I spoke with him a few days ago. They wanted him to change out his boost valves to smaller ones. The trans is low on pressure already. I mentioned to fine tune his TV adjustment as the BTO TV setup is trick. It lets you adjust the light throttle TV pressures without affecting wide open. I keep them in stock for 4100 carbs...

He told me the same thing. I think he said 1-2 & 3-4 are softer now.
